Wow. Now that's a good neighbor. Think all of us almost automatically start out on the offence, need to rethink that.

I am glad that they are such good neighbors... and realize their responsibility for their dog. That is a very nice welcome change from the majority of the pet/dog/animal owners. Yes, often "we" are quick to judge and assume.... but it comes with the conditioning of many and frequent clashes with irresponsible pet owners.

Hate to say it... but maybe a kennel with concrete base/floor... to keep the dog in when they are not at home, or times when they cannot always keep an eye on him??? Not to be mean, but a "self protection" for the dog....
We all know animals can get loose, livestock roam, things like that... and they are being the most responsible dog owners I have ever heard of.... But even that will get old for them.... so maybe something to protect the dog from himself...
Huskies have an innate instinct to kill things... chickens, cats, waterfowl,.... it's just in them.... had friends that raised huskies in Conn when I was a kid.... and she told me that they got rid of their chickens and their cats because the dogs would just kill them... they just do... and their dogs were like this one... they would literally stop what they were doing if the owner told them to.....immediately.... but left alone, and their brain just did not function that it was wrong..... sad but simple fact of life...

These do sound like good responsible neighbors. Maybe since it’s happened twice now they will take whatever steps necessary to stop it from happening again.
